This was made for the Teapot Tuesday challenge, MMTPT574. We were asked to use water and flowers to make a card for Cheryl.
I bought these silly brusho things, but am too lazy/scared to use them. So I decided Cheryl was worth the effort to pull them out and if she can fight through her problems, I can overcome my fear to use them. So this was definitely an inspirational challenge for me! I used the Brusho for both the background as well as painting the bird and flowers.
I wish the blue in the corner was blended just a little bit more, but I do like the pop of color it adds to the card. And overall, I'm happy with how it turned out. I also used my brand new stamps that were just delivered yesterday.
I hope it is a bright spot in Cheryl's day when she received it.

I really like your dramatic background for the sweet little bird which is very nicely colored! Brusho is a fun medium; you kind of never know what you're going to get!

I'm so glad you got your brushos out and played. They are fun! And your background is lovely. I also like the pop of blue in the upper corner, so pretty!

Yeah, you! Cheryl would be cheering you on to play, experiment, have fun with the Brushos. And with a bird as classic as that one, your coloring turned out lovely.
When I stated using the Brushos, I felt such a sense of freedom cause I am not a painter...I let them work their random magic..sprinkle and spritz! Well done, Beth.
